1960's Walter O'Malley Single Signed Baseball. Our pricing
database suggests that the last sale of an O'Malley single within a
major auction happened in 2003, a fact that should indicate just
how rare this most hated man in Brooklyn baseball history is on
horsehide. But even many of those who still curse his name for
shipping the Bums to Los Angeles are forced to come crawling back
now, as the Veterans Committee of the Baseball Hall of Fame
enshrined the Dodgers owner posthumously in 2008. As such, this is
the very first major auction offering of a single from Walter
O'Malley, the Hall of Famer. His blood red 9/10 ballpoint signature
is appropriately sinister on the side panel of an "L.A. City Rec.
& Park" baseball that links the legendary executive to his
adopted hometown. Light toning remains clear of the autograph. Will
it be another decade (or more) until your next opportunity at
ownership? Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
